Making a complaint about a school

All schools in Suffolk are committed to providing the best education for young people. We want our children to do well and be happy, healthy and safe.

We are aware that there may be occasions where people have concerns or complaints about their child’s school. If you are unhappy the first step you need to take is to obtain a copy of your school’s complaints procedure. The information explained on this page is to help parents and carers understand what may be involved. However it is only intended as a guide.

Complaints are not dealt with by Suffolk County Council, but by the individual school.

As a parent or carer you must get the school's own policy, and follow the procedures set out in that document.
